COOKING-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 239,533, dated March 29, 1881.

Application ined February 1, Iasi. (Mader.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID H. NATION, Of St. Louis, Missouri, have made a new and useful Improvement in Cookin g-Stovesof which the followingis afull, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a view in perspective, showing that part of a stove with which the improvement in'question is immediately connected, a portion of the outer and inner plates of the stove being broken away to exhibit the interior construction, and the damper being turned as for direct draft to the exit; and Fig. 2, a similar view, but showing the damper turned to direct the heat-currents around the oven.

The same letters denote the same parts.

The present invention is an improvement in the line of construction patented to me June 1,1880, and numbered 228,270. In the construction referred to a line-space at the end of and extending across the top `of the stove is, by means Of a tine-strip, separated from the flue above the oven. The present improvement has especial relation to this portion of the stove.

A represents the improved stove, having the lire-place B, the line C leading from the fire-place, the diving-dues D D, the side bottom ues, E E, the center bottom iue, F, the ascending flue G, the flue-space H, and the oven I, substantially as n the original construction. Inplace, however, of the flue-strip extending in rear of the diving-dues from the side a Of the stove continuously to the opposite side, a', the ue C and space H are made to be separated by the strips K K, which are arranged beyond the diving-dues D D, and a central damper, M, as shown. That is, for direct draft the damper is turned down, as in Fig. 1, and the heat-currents pass them from the ue C, through the opening between the strips K K, into the space H, and thence to the escape N, as indicated by 'the arrows in thatfigure.

To heat the Oven the damper is turned to close the opening between the strips, as in Fig. 2, and the course of the heat-currents is then from the ue C, down the diving-fines D D, andxthrough the iiues E E, F, and G, into the flue-space H, and thence to the escape N, as indicated by the arrows in the last-named figure.

The strips K K may be extensions of the plates 7c k. The escape N is at the end pf theV space H.

I claim- Y t 1. In a stove, A, the combination Of the fines C and H, and the escape N, saidjues being separated, and said escape being arranged substantially as described. l

2. In a stove, A, the combination of the iues C, D D, E E, F, G, and H, and the escape N, and damper M, andstrips K K, substantially as described.
